AWS v7.8.0 published on Tuesday, Oct 7, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    Provides an IAM role inline policy.

    NOTE: For a given role, this resource is incompatible with using the aws.iam.Role resource inline_policy argument. When using that argument and this resource, both will attempt to manage the role’s inline policies and the provider will show a permanent difference.

    NOTE: We suggest using explicit JSON encoding or aws.iam.getPolicyDocument when assigning a value to policy. They seamlessly translate configuration to JSON, enabling you to maintain consistency within your configuration without the need for context switches. Also, you can sidestep potential complications arising from formatting discrepancies, whitespace inconsistencies, and other nuances inherent to JSON.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const testRole = new aws.iam.Role("test_role", {
